Patch 4.1: Official Video and Wowhead Guide

There's an official video for Rise of the Zandalari: Patch 4.1 posted by Blizzard to share with you today.

Blizzard Entertainment

The days when great troll empires stretched across ancient Kalimdor are long past. Millennia of war and internal strife have stripped these nations of their power, lands, and glory. As Azeroth recovers from the destruction of the Cataclysm, the world's divided troll populations face a bleak future. These dark times have spurred the trolls of the Zandalar, the historically wise and scholarly tribe from which all trolls originated, to take drastic action. They have embarked on a bold crusade to save their race by uniting trolls into a single mighty empire. With the Zandalari's aid, the fallen capitals of the Gurubashi and Amani nations -- Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman -- are already rebuilding, replenishing their forces for a bloody campaign to expand their territories.

Yet Vol'jin and his Darkspear trolls are not aligned with the Zandalari. They have sworn to stand with their Horde comrades -- and even work with the Alliance -- should the trolls ignite a new war on Azeroth. Soon, Vol'jin might be forced to act on his promise, for if the Gurubashi and Amani are left to their own devices, the world will know the legendary strength and savagery of the ancient troll empires once again.

Patch 4.1: Wowhead Guide

As the presence of this video indicates, Patch 4.1 is this Tuesday.

So Gabriel Tosh...StarCraft 2 was merely a setback? From rogue spectre to troll commentator. I suppose when Nova killed you, you just kinda reincarnated a few rungs down the ladder.

I am extremely disappointed that Blizzard would sacrifice their own creativity and destroy their past achievements with this new patch.On a separate note...just the fact that a troll race is "on the rise" is not only total BS, but by any and all aspects of logic and lore....this new patch will add a couple of very semi-easy raids for levels 12-15!So beware all toons < lvl 12! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Heh, I was thinking about the voice to. I wouldn't be surprised if they used the same voice actor for both of Blizzard's games.

so "All trade goods available for purchase with Honor or Justice Points from the associated commodities vendors have had their prices reduced by 50%."

does that include the bloodthirsty gear ? because that would be incredible.

Tradegoods are mining and herbalism items and the like. Not gear.

I call Old God influence.

(Would fit into the theme of the expansion to the very least)

We'll see. Could be as simple as the Zandalar becoming more militant and xenophobic and thinking they can use Hakkar in some way. Could be the Twilight's Hammer has designs on Hakkar or is manipulating the Trolls to cause a distraction from their own plans. Or perhaps some other power as yet unrevealed is involved here. Hopefully time will tell.

I'm divided. Although the Amani and Drakkari were taken care in a rather violent and probably not needed way, Gurubashi and Farrak were pretty much calling it on themselves, and with the blessing of the Zandalari those two last were wiped. Could be that the Zandalari had just a change of heart, could be that with Hakkar serving, instead of being served, they are now comfortable with the Gurubashi, but Blizzard is really putting all the blame for everything else in the Old Gods, so I would not dismiss that too.

Anyone else hoping that at the end of a ZG or ZA the boss yells "We be trollin'!" and then after that some "spontaneous" celebration occurs with a whole bunch of trolls jumping out of nowhere and gives your group party hats saying "Grats on being Trolled. Tell your friends. We're here everyday. We just kicked it up a notch :D"
